Chapter 407: The Powerful Divine Consciousness
One month later, emerging from the passage in the northeast direction of the North Region, Wulong Mountain was already in sight.
This time, Qin Changqing had been away for more than six years, and Wulong Mountain had undergone major changes.
In the North, an Immortal City had emerged. This Jiexian city was called North City. It was actually an array eye of the whole Wulong Mountain’s protective array.
At the same time, it also served a diversionary function.
Su City couldn’t expand indefinitely, yet as the number of cultivators arriving continued to increase, the cost of living for loose cultivators in Su City had risen sharply.
Those loose cultivators with lower cultivation levels could live and cultivate in North City.
In addition, North City could also monitor the Northeast Domain Passage.
As the six years passed, Wulong Mountain’s spiritual Qi had become extremely dense.
Qin Changqing judged correctly that although Wulong Mountain was at the northeastern tip of the Vast Wave Realm, because of its trends and the spread of spiritual veins, a huge influx of spiritual Qi began converging on Wulong Mountain after the Yuan Magnetic Barrier was resolved.
The flying boat flew along towards the mid-section of the Wulong Mountain’s ridge.
Wulong Mountain also had airspace restrictions. Only Qin Changqing’s flying boat could fly like this.
If it were another flying boat, the flight zone would be limited, and it couldn’t fly at the top of Wulong Mountain.
On top of the flying boat, Qin Changqing’s concubines, whom he had taken in in the Xuantian world, were curiously watching.
Soon, they reached the main peak of the mid-section of Wulong Mountain. This peak was very high, several tens of thousands of feet high.
A Cave World here had already been constructed.
“My Lord”
As Qin Changqing’s flying boat entered, Butterfly Cloud came to greet him.
In these years, Butterfly Cloud hadn’t gone into seclusion, but had been overseeing the construction of the Cave World.
Of course, her main focus was still cultivating.
After a few years passed, the Cave World was essentially completed.
Quite a few of Qin Changqing’s concubines had already moved in.
Inside, there were many mountains and cave mansions.
Compared to the previous Cave World, the density of the spiritual Qi here had leveled up.
Around this Cave World, Qin Changqing planned to build several more Cave Worlds.
In essence, he was planning to build a large swath of Cave Worlds.
The largest of the Cave Worlds would be the dwelling place for him and his concubines.
Other cave worlds would be devoted to serving guests, a place for his descendants.
Spiritual Root Descendants had specially allocated Cave Worlds too. Everyone would be assigned a Cave Mansion for cultivation.
This wide expanse of Cave Worlds was also the core area of Wulong Mountain’s mountain protection array.
After settling his concubines one by one, Qin Changqing then went to the previous Cave World to check on Youyue’s condition.
Youyue was still in seclusion. She should need a few more years to reach the critical point.
Then, he went to see Murong Xue, who had been very well-behaved over the years, showing no sign of any flaws.
Her education of her descendants was very normal, especially her daughter with Qin Changqing, of Heavenly Spirit Root nature.
She was already several years old, well-taught by Murong Xue, and she was certainly going to be a little genius in the future.
“My Lord~”
After not seeing him for several years, Murong Xue did not ask Qin Changqing where he had been.
Qin Changqing, looking at her dazzling beauty, tasted her cherry-like lips and then took this alluring concubine, who was a suspected witch, into his room.
Several hours later, Qin Changqing left contentedly. He had to continue keeping an eye on Tao Yao.
He absolutely could not miss Tao Yao being lost in her thoughts.
In Murong Xue’s place, Qin Changqing was thoroughly enjoying himself because he did not have to be cautious at all and could let loose.
Murong Xue willingly went along with everything, making Qin Changqing exceptionally comfortable.
The suspected witch had been pure and undefiled before Qin Changqing, but she must have read similar books and was indeed an unparalleled beauty in the realm.
“My Lord, do you think my painting looks good?”
In a beautiful and peaceful manor, Tao Yao, who was painting, blinked her watery eyes and asked.
What Tao Yao was painting was the image of Qin Changqing standing at the bow of the flying boat, overlooking the whole Wulong Mountain.
The image showed Qin Changqing, with the wind in his hair, standing there, elegant and aloof, full of a king-overlooking-the-world sort of grandeur.
No matter what Tao Yao painted, Qin Changqing was always present in her artwork.
“Hmm, Tao Yao’s painting is really good.”
Qin Changqing scrutinized it carefully, giving praise.
Tao Yao was very happy when she received Qin Changqing’s compliment.
“Soon, the peach blossoms will bloom.”
Tao Yao looked over the manor.
This manor, spanning over tens of thousands of acres and occupying a small hill, had been filled by Qin Changqing with Peach Blossoms because Tao Yao liked peach blossoms.
Each of his concubines would own a manor this big.
Wulong Mountain stretched for tens of thousands of miles, so there was plenty of room.
The peach blossoms were indeed about to bloom.
On this day, Tao Yao was still not daydreaming.
But, after night fell, she suddenly started to do so.
“Here we go.”
Seeing Tao Yao daydreaming, Qin Changqing didn’t hesitate and invoked an Immortal Decision inside the Great Dream Recording.
As Qin Changqing activated it, his True Origin surged out like a dam had been opened.
The depletion was far greater than when he was using the Six Harmonies Mirror to resist the Immortal Artifact fragment.
But the effect was very clear, Qin Changqing felt dizzy.
His surroundings were all grey and he couldn’t see anything.
“Enter the dream.”
Qin Changqing murmured.
This is entering a dream, entering Tao Yao’s dream.
Dream entering was not complicated.
Golden Elixir cultivators and even Foundation Building cultivators could peek into mortal’s dreams using some secret methods.
They could even influence and intervene, causing a person to have constant nightmares or continuous sweet dreams.
But Tao Yao’s present case was different.
She was not dreaming at the moment.
Without dreams, how could he enter?
With strong Divine Consciousness, forcibly entering her Divine Soul was certainly not feasible, that would not be helping her.
Qin Changqing looked around, and the surroundings were indeed grey with nothing to see.
This was the state of Tao Yao when she was daydreaming?
No wonder during her daydreaming, aside from a few instances, she could hardly recall anything and was even unaware that she was daydreaming.
Unfortunately, the timing when Qin Changqing learned the Great Dream Recording was a bit late. By then, Tao Yao hardly dreamed about anything during her daydreaming period.
This was only the first step Qin Changqing aimed to take.
Qin Changqing’s hand seals changed again and, shortly after, he perceived something different.
It was somewhat similar to the invisible barrier that one senses when stuck at a bottleneck.
But it was even stronger than that barrier. If Qin Changqing did not use the Great Dream Recording, he wouldn’t be able to sense it.
Even having sensed it, he could not break through.
To be precise, this was not a barrier that he could break through by overcoming a bottleneck.
Qin Changqing could not quite describe what it felt like, but he knew what he had to do.
“Enter the dream.”
Qin Changqing closed his eyes.
Now, he too, fell asleep.
After that, his Divine Consciousness started to become ethereal and elusive, resembling the unstable and precarious state during dreaming.
His thoughts began to wander, becoming scattered. The complete thought process seemed to shatter into pieces.
Then, gradually, it appeared as if they had drifted into another world.
